	Minecarts with furnaces are placed in the same way as other minecarts. They do not have a GUI, unlike a [[Minecraft:furnace]]. Also unlike a furnace, furnace minecarts can only be powered with [[Minecraft:coal]] and [[Minecraft:charcoal]]. Other [[Minecraft:fuel source]]s, such as [[Minecraft:blocks of coal]] or [[Minecraft:blaze rod]]s, cannot be used.		Minecarts with furnaces are placed in the same way as other minecarts.

	When powered, minecarts with furnaces cover 240m per minute (4 m/s, slightly slower than walking speed) or 720m per piece of fuel. They do not accelerate beyond this speed when going downhill or on active [[Minecraft:powered rail]]s, and as long as they remain powered, they do not slow down when going uphill, on inactive powered rails, or when pushing or pulling other minecarts.

	Unlike other carts, minecart with furnace does not get pushed ~~backwards~~ nor ~~forwards~~ because of any collision mechanics. This means they can be useful to move longer "trains" of carts forward, even in conjunction with powered rails.

	If a powered furnace minecart is derailed and then pushed back onto a rail, it starts moving again in the direction it came from, so they are not easily turned around in this state unless a player is nearby to redirect it with {{Control\|use}}.		If a powered furnace minecart is derailed and then pushed back onto a rail, it starts moving again in the direction it came from, so they are not easily turned around in this state unless a player is nearby to redirect it with {{Control\|use}}.

	When a minecart with furnace bumps into another minecart or multiple minecarts, the other minecarts are pushed forward with great speed. The furnace minecart continues on with its own speed. Because of this speed difference, some of the minecarts may end up inside unloaded chunks on straight tracks.

Because of this speed difference, some of the minecarts may end up inside unloaded chunks on straight tracks.

			A player can push an unpowered furnace minecart like any other minecart, but other minecarts cannot push it. So for example, placing a new furnace minecart in front of a speeding minecart is to place an immovable object in its path.

	A furnace minecart can be made to pull up to four other minecarts. All minecarts in this train move at the constant speed of the furnace minecart. Trains are formed when a minecart is pushed into the back of a powered furnace minecart or a short-enough train. These shunts are fragile at best and easily come undone, but some methods are stronger than others. For example, pushing a minecart into a furnace minecart and then powering the furnace gives a weaker shunt than pushing the furnace minecart into the other minecart against a wall, and then powering the furnace in the other direction.
